On this edition of ACT Radio Greg, Liz and Tom have a conversation with Dr. Neal Barnard, founder and president of The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. He talks about growing up in North Dakota and his path to veganism. On this show they discuss how a plant-based diet can prevent and treat diabetes, heart disease and most chronic diseases.
Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health, that paved the way for viewing type 2 diabetes as a potentially reversible condition for many patients. Dr. Barnard has authored more than 100 scientific publications and 20 books for medical and lay readers, and is the editor in chief of the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians, a textbook made available to all U.S. medical students.
